Reminiscenes of the bygone era....

Some for 12 years ,some for 8 years and some for less............but everyone having 1 thing in common......we all loved and very dearly loved St Marys Convent and.........each other

Through those long years I never realised how much each one of you,dear frends, meant to me.......its only when we parted did the realisation dawn upon me that we can never again be the smiling blooming buds of St Marys tied together by the threads of friendship, a friendship so strong that time and tide also bow before it.

Krishangi(Pahi)----Miss Nataunki one of the most innocent and hyper energetic girls the world has ever seen.........like a little girl overflowing with energy and having a unique curiosity for anything and everything.You could always see her jumping and running around,with a smile permanently pasted on her face.

Nabhaswat(Poppy)-calm and quiet on the outside..........its only frends who know the real Poppy:).She has always been the perfect lady.She was one of the few girls in class who actually did their Work Experience assignments on their own (it included stitching handkerchiefs and then graduating to making cushion covers,table cloths..............aagh).But she was also a perfect prankster.......and the perennial Ballloo(our Maths Sir)bugger.She and pahi made a perfect pair...........what do u say about class 10 girls pulling each others hair and slapping one another......Oh My God

Then comes Arzin or Deli(actually its dahlia)...the sweet and sensible flower in a bunch of rowdies.Long legs,manicured fingers,prim and proper dress,sweet voice and an awesum friend .....dats Arzin for us,:)
If ever we wanted to know anything about anybody.........we alwayz go to this one special(very special) girl,,,NEedhi(or Needz) born with an amazing aptitude for being in touch with anyone and everyone,Needhi is everyone s favourite girl.Cool and funky,caring and daring.........you cant help liking her.And if ever you are in any trouble ,Needhi is alayz dere for you.......a friend so idle..those of her kind are read about only in literatures
And then there s Miss Universe....or Lona-the Eternal Beauty.You look at her and are forced to say "God She s beautiful-I mean very beautiful".Me and Lona share a special bond---we were both subjected to Miss Jeans benevolence(in miss Jeans words)It included having to compile the biodata of three batches of students....each batch of 170-180 students:(.But inspite of having so many virtues[:)] she has always been level headed and very down to earth
Dixita.....Miss Long Hair The first thing you notice about her is her hair.As far as I can remember her hair has alawys been long.long and still longer.A fun lover and a wonderful person to stay around with........
Angela.....Remember the kabaddi match in which you literally picked me up and threw me out of the arena....my god that was scary........:) Shes rough shes tough but inside shes as innocent as a new born kid and gifted with a golden heart...
Julie-the"Philiip" girl........an amazing athlete and a national basky player....one of the most talented girl in our group...
Reema,Pratiksha,Spandana,Neelanjana..........amazing friends ,each special in her own way......
And ffinally one very very special friend..........what can you say about a girl who has been your friend for 16 years(considering we are only 19 yrs old now)....a friend who probably knows you better than you know yourself..... has seen you grow from a kindergarten kid to a IIT student,knows all your viices and still sticks by you through thick and thin,is ready to sacrifice and do anything for you,is more concerned about your well being than hers.........Words fall short to describe you dear Joey(she shares this name with my sister).......she is the best gift god has given me till date.Even today when the heart yearns for solace,the fingers automatically dials her number........
Jeans stories ,Balloos english(ishtadishtics.....means statistics),Headys moral science classes,Miss Ruma s dramatics ,Miss Prarthana s yawns,Miss Hasna s manicured fingers,Miss Devahuti s backgrounds.......Remember the breaks .....the chain-chain games,lock and key,kho-kho ,kabaddi ,basky,volley.........the house tempo,bunking classes(we entered the class through the door and then jumped out through the windows(they didnt hav grills:P),the Slam book incident and the Amsoi picnic and the bus ride,the teachers dayz ,childrens dayz ,Gratitude Days and Christmas celebration...........so many memories ,so many moments
People say you are lucky if you have one true friend..........then we must be the luckiest people in this world since we had so many .Now that we are no more together,its only memories that tie us together.Its been four years since we parted ways but even today the reminiscenes of those dayz bring joy to the heart and a quiet smile to the lips...........
When the heart feels lonely and yearns for company ,and tears overflow the eyes, the memories of those moments overpower me......for I knew no loneliness and tears with you guys around. Distance separates us today,we have made new and wonderful friends but you guys hold a special place in the heart.Miss you guys tremendously and love u alll.........
